antibiotics
I have compensated cirrhosis and have recently developed a bladder infection. I am allergic to PCN and Cipro and have been given Nitrofurantoin for 7 days. I am very afraid to take it. Does anyone have any experiences with it or can recommend other meds to take?
Thank you for any suggestions!

Hi I looked this up, it used to be called Macrobid. It is just for bladder infections so that is good.
If your doctor knows about your liver, I think this would be safe. I am not a doctor but I also have compensated cirrhosis and always worry about antibiotics.
I learned that penicillin or penicillin family is the safest.
In your case, it sounds like it is worth it to use it.
Good luck!
